Same discussion goes on the main land after finding the same article and following PDF:http://ec.europa.eu/transport/doc/ro...2012%29380.pdf
Because Dutch politicians are extremists when it comes to reducing road casualties (this is the spear point if i understand right) i fear that there will be not a lot of political resistance once this has to pass through the boards of parliaments... (Fact: roughly 700 casualties every year, numbers declining since 1970, number of casualties rising are just the cyclists, more than 60 fatalities are due to driving under prescipted drugs, 2,5% due to alcohol)
The Belgian members on here can tell you how bad it has gone for them since a few years.. I have collegues spending a week of holiday in order to get their project cars passed every year due to minor changes.
This scares me the most:
“‘vehicle of historic interest’ means any vehicle which fulfils all the following conditions: It has not sustained any change in the technical characteristics of its main components such as engine, brakes, steering or suspension…”
So, you need to mount non radial tires back on your classic Triumph/Austin/... ?? That'll make it a lot safer..!
